Strength:
Thruster 1 - 10 - 1 - 20 - 30
145 - 115 - 145 - 95(17) - 145 - 65(20)
This made my arms feel like wet noodles, thinking this means I'm not getting enough hip thrust or something and too much arms in my thruster. Seriously not soft. On a positive note this was a 10 RM because I don't think I've ever actually tried before. Also the ten reps at 115# actually didn't feel that bad.
Conditioning:
10-1 Dead Lift (155#)
1-10 (Bar Hop Burpees)
(9 mins 58 secs)
Yeah thinking I could have gone faster and was on the verge of not finishing with 10 reps to go in 30 seconds but managed to close it out.
Strength:
Back Squat 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5
135 - 155 - 175 - 185 - 135
after each 5 strict chin ups to stretch the back.
Yep squatting after some thrusters, why because we can.

95 - 115 - 135 - 155 - 165 - 175(f) - 175
So my jerk is pretty weak it was more like a push press but good to put in work and tie a push press PR 1RM while tired and feeling like my form was weak.

Conditioning:
150 Overhead Weighted Lunges
then
AMRAP
1 x Dead Lift
2 x Hang Power Clean
3 x Push Press
4 x Front Squat
3 Burpees every minute on the minute.
So got to the the AMRAP which was my goal. In the past I would have given up on this workout and just abided my time finishing 10-15 short at the end. Went out with 45 the first three minutes and then just fought through with 8-12 each minute with the exception of a minute I took off to finish right before the 14th minute. While not impressive it's a sign of progress.

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Dead Lift (228#)
Bench Press (155#)
Power Clean (116#)
(29 mins 38 secs)
Went slow and steady on this one. Biggest note of the day is that I think I learned how to dead lift, or at least dead lift more efficiently. I was bending at the knee too much and losing energy pulling the weight up. Even with sore legs today's dead lifts felt much easier. Amazing how you do something for so long and a small tip makes such a big difference.
Friday, January 24, 2014
Strength:
Back Squat 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3
135 - 155 - 185 - 225 - 240(f)
Hit 240 once which is actually a 1RM since my 3RM was my 1RM at 235.
Conditioning:
3 Min. Max Back Squats (155#)
(31 Reps)
The end result was okay but I was more happy with hitting 22 reps straight, wish I would have sucked it up and tried to hit 30.
Skill:
20 Min EMOM.
5 Rounds
5 x Power Clean (115#)
5 Rounds
4 x Power Clean (135#)
10 Rounds
2 x Power Clean (155#)
Well that was either brilliant or extremely stupid only time will tell. My legs were gone so the weight felt at least 10-20# heavier than regular. I was gassing out on what should have been a relatively easy rep scheme. I'm just glad I didn't give up because in the middle it got pretty rough. Hoping that this will make me more explosive with better form once I'm fresh.

Conditioning:
"Zimmerman"
11 x CTB Pull Ups
2 x Dead lift (255#)
10 x HSPU
(6 Rounds + 18)
So the good news is that today actually felt easier than yesterday even though the workout was much more difficult. Everything felt okay, as okay as chest to bar pull ups, heavy deadlifts, and hand stand push ups can feel that is. Had a goal of seven rounds but the dead lifts got super heavy the last round and I barely got them up. Either way glad I showed up and did this. Building confidence in some movements and weights that a little over a year ago I would have thought would be impossible.

Back Squat (160#) Bodyweight
Hand Release Push Ups
Box Jumps
(16 mins 34 secs)
Yeah so put in some decent work today. The conditioning was pretty rough but stuck with it and got through. Not terribly fast but there was a pretty decent distance from the back squat to the box jump and I took my sweet time going back and forth.

30 x KB Swings (70#)
20 x HSPU
10 x Bar Muscle Ups
With the shoulder issues I had a few months ago I've been slacking on working on pull ups and have not tried a bar muscle up. It was apparent after the CTB that those alone would have been a good workout for me. I tried to push through but only got 4/10 Bar Muscle Ups before time expired. Still good to work on pull ups and I'm sure once I start incorporating some more practice I'll be back to normal.

Not sure if I'm fatigued or what but the last two days have been pretty rough. Started off with 15 KB swings each round but had to drop it after a few rounds or I would not have been able to finish. Going to do some cardio tomorrow, stretch out, and try to refresh.

1-10 KB Swings (70#)
Got through 6/6 KB Swings before time limit of 12 minutes.
Thought I would be able to do this no problem but I was down to singles on the HSPU right into the round of 8, once it goes it really goes quickly and doesn't come back.
Strength:
Bench Press 5 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
135 - 155 - 165 - 175 - 185 - 195 - 205 - 215
Surprising that bench actually felt pretty strong after a lot of push up work and hand stand push ups.

30 x Double Unders
15 x Deadlifts
(4 Rounds + 60 singles)
then
3 Minutes Max Wall Balls
(33)
So after slugging through 2 rounds in ~5:30 I stopped my hop hop double under mess and went to 60 singles, finished with 4 rounds and 60 singles. Glad I stuck with the double unders for a while though, for brief moments it actually felt like I knew what I was doing. Those moments were fleeting and often harshly interrupted by the jump rope lashing my legs or wrist. Still getting closer to find that elusive rhythm or at least thats what I'm telling myself.

Max Unbroken Burpees to 6 inch target - (50)
Was working on moving slow and consistently through out, found out that 12 per minute is my coasting pace but at around 40 it started to suck and I decided to call 50 good.
